A proper cup of Coffee

15.04.2010 - 30.05.2010

Now, we can hardly picture our lives without coffee. It accompanies us during both workdays and festive days, we consume it at offices and factories as well as in our leisure time. Many of us have become „true experts“ with allegiance to only the right brand or the best growing habitat and the one and only correct way for its proper preparation. However, very few of us know the complete and true history of coffee. Should you belong among its admirers or should you just be curious, please accept our invitation and enter into the whole world of coffee.

What´s going on in the autumn waters?
Let´s take a look inside a mountain river in the autumn. There is only one fish species, which spawn in this cold season – the brown trout.
He lives in the alpine streams of Slovakia. The spawning behaviour of brown trout is similar to his closely related Atlantic Salmon. A female produces about 500 - 1500 eggs at spawning.
A newly hatched alevin live on the yolk sac. As they develop into fry, the yolk is used up, and the fry must start to feed on insects. Adult trouts are active predators of smaller fishes, frogs and the water insects.
